The iPhone SE 2020 was launched in mid-April 2020 as Apple's first affordable iPhone released since the iPhone 8 in late 2017. But rumors have it that another mid-range device is headed. us: a great iPhone SE Plus. Other phones planned for 2021 We had hoped that the launch of the iPhone 12 could also bring us a new iPhone SE, but that did not happen; instead we got the iPhone 12 mini, which is about the size we expected the iPhone SE Plus to be, but with more impressive specs. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering how much bigger phones have gotten since the original iPhone SE was released. Although this updated version is bigger with a 5,5-inch screen, today's phones have screens that are getting closer to 7 inches. But another reason why it shouldn't be too shocking: the iPhone SE 2020 is essentially new hardware tucked into the body of an iPhone 8, so it would seem easy to go from the iPhone 8 Plus to a larger iPhone SE Plus. We haven't heard much about this larger model of mid-range phone, including why it came out later than its little brother. But we've rounded up what we've heard below, along with a section on what we want to see. Rumors suggested a 2021 version for this larger, lower-end iPhone, which obviously didn't come true, but maybe 2021 will bring it instead.
Come to the point
- What is it? A larger version of the iPhone SE (2020)
- When did it come out? Maybe sometime in 2021
- How much will it cost? Over € 399 / € 419 / AU € 749
Price and release date of the iPhone SE Plus
We don't know when the iPhone SE Plus will launch, although rumors suggest that the iPhone SE Plus is at least in the works. Unfortunately, famed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo estimated that we may not see the iPhone SE Plus until the second half of 2021. Similarly, we haven't heard any official word on the cost of the iPhone SE Plus. Given that the 2020 SE has a starting price of €399 / £419 / AU$749, which was lower than the last official price of the iPhone 8 before it went out of business, I wouldn't be too out of line to guess at that. The SE Plus will be cheaper than the latest official iPhone 8 Plus price of €549 (£579, AU$949).IPhone SE Plus Rumors and Leaks
While there aren't many rumors about the iPhone SE Plus, there are a few things we can take away from the launch of its little brother. The 2020 iPhone SE inherited its hardware (plus chipset and RAM) from the iPhone 8, including its 4.7-inch LCD with SD (1334x750) resolution. By this notion, the iPhone SE Plus will likely have the same specs as the iPhone 8 Plus: a 5.5-inch FHD (1920x1080p) display that, while still LCD, is sharper than its smaller sibling. Similarly, it's also likely to inherit the dual rear cameras from the iPhone 8 Plus: a 12MP wide and 12MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. It can handle 4K video at 60fps or HD 1080p at 30fps via the 7MP front-facing camera.iPhone SE Plus: what we want to see
1. Multiple rear cameras
The big differentiator between the iPhone 8 and the 8 Plus was the additional rear camera on the back of the latter, which produced stereoscopic images that could be combined to create an effect of depth, thus allowing the first photos in portrait mode. While the 2020 iPhone SE can gain depth using software algorithms, doing it digitally produces more visual glitches than using two (or more) lenses to achieve it.2. Better lenses and sensors
And hey, don't dwell on the iPhone 8's dual rear cameras, why don't you give us the best lenses and sensors from the iPhone 11 lineup to take better night photos. While the 2020 iPhone SE features the leading A13 Bionic chipset, its older camera technology prevents it from handling the same fantastic night mode photos taken on new flagships.3. Less bevel
Yes, yes, Apple seems to have cut the costs of the 2020 iPhone SE by recycling the iPhone 8's hardware, screen, and casing, but this has kept the same chunky chin, top, and bezel as older models, which are extensive for current standards. Given that most phones released today have very high screen-to-body ratios by stretching the screen almost completely around the front of the phone, it is quite difficult to see that the iPhone SE 2020 is out of date. height.4. Larger battery
The 2.691 mAh battery in the iPhone 8 Plus was certainly bigger than the 1.821 mAh capacity in the iPhone 8, but we're still expecting no more than the three-year model of the new iPhone SE 2020 Plus. Considering the number of compromises the iPhone SE 2020 lineup has made to keep costs low (i.e. inheriting pretty much the same iPhone 8 design), we'd like to see some practical benefits, like more battery for your money. However, we'll settle for a faster 18W charger in the box.5. 3,5mm jack
Granted, this is a pipe dream, but we'd love to get our 3,5mm jack back. One of the hardest things to miss from the iPhone 6S was the headphone port, especially since the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 kept the same physical dimensions, so it would be a great move to get this feature. - which is present in many other devices. range phones.- Best iPhone: Our Top-Rated Apple Phones
